Description: | 1901
The first covered marked in Leeds opened in 1857. It was built with a frame of cast iron with glass infils by C. Tilney. Sir Joseph Paxton, the architect behind London's Crystal Palace, oversaw much of the construction. The market contained 44 shops around the outside with 35 within. This view shows the market at the end of 1901 with boards around the perimeter and For Sale signs in the windows. It was demolished in 1902 to make way for the Kirkgate, Vicar Lane market which opened in 1904. Advertisements for El Destino Cigars and Colmans Starch are visible as well as a horse and cart from the Midland Railway Company. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | First Covered Market Vicars Croft | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
